The PyPy project did not reimplement the entire Python standard library. The goal of PyPy is to provide a drop-in replacement for the canonical CPython interpreter. Right now, PyPy is (very) compatible with existing Python 2.7.3 code.[1]

I didn't say the entire library was reimplemented, just that they are two different implementations.
